I'm guestimating 17.04 using my phone.
My dashboard hasn't been working for the past couple days. I contacted FitBit and they say some users(not many) are having an issue. I should buy a lottery ticket.

Even the announcers were talking about how difficult it was to announce for three stages that were that boring.
Yeah I heard that it was totally boring. I just feel that if you travel that far, one rest day is not enough0 -

@2ESSIE - Thank you! I sure am proud of him. And he cleans up pretty well.
Wish I still looked that good in a suit!
I got to the gym this morning for 6 miles on the exercise bike. While riding, I decided that I'm going to focus more on the treadmill and running again so I needed to adjust my goal downward a little so I don't stress too much about that and feel like I have to ride the bike when I really need to run.

Hubby and I were able to get a couple of hikes in the last two days, so my miles look great. Today we went to Blue Knob State Park in Pennsylvania and I chose a "moderately difficult" trail. Well, that might be "moderately difficult" if I were in reasonable shape, but I am still in post tax season fluffiness, so there was no moderate for me. I was at the point of 10 steps, rest, 10 more steps, rest again to get up the final parts of the hill. Glad I did not know my heart rate, I'm sure it was not in a good place. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stay somewhat fit when working 80-100+ hours multiple weeks in a row? I know I am not the only one here that has to figure out how to balance this moving thing with the rest of life. I don't want to be back in this place next year if I can help it, honestly it was a little scary realizing how out of shape I am right now.
Did add 7 miles yesterday and 5.75 miles today for a May total of 43 miles. Looks like I may need to up my goal when I get back home.

@taxmom9093 - before I retired I worked 80+ hour weeks. Don't beat yourself up too much because finding balance when you are that tired and stressed is almost impossible. My best suggestion is to make small changes like parking farther away to get a little walk from your car, taking stairs if you are in that kind of building, or walking to wherever you get lunch. If you are superhuman, try to get up earlier and get in a very short, efficient workout. The best way to find balance is unfortunately retirement or a career change. But if that isn't in the cards, just be proud that when things slow down you do take care of yourself and you work to rebuild your fitness. Your dedication to getting back into shape each year is actually a big deal.3

My son’s wedding was beautiful. He was 33 before he met someone, after many reclusive years. It was a miracle that he found someone - never mind his soulmate. It was a quiet wedding. My new daughter-in-law has a 24 year old daughter with ASD, which pretty much dictated how many people attended.2 -

Adding 2.4 miles. The gym is doing three challenges this week, Move 10K steps, Move 150 mins of exercise and and a month long Exercise is Medicine program where you earn "fit bucks" for classes, lectures, and even guessing the picture on the bulletin board or answering the fitness question. I've got $55 dollars so far. They can be used in June for various things in the gym. It's keeping me busy logging all that as well as my usual posts here. But it's fun.

Gongrats @k80flec on a wonderful wedding. Never say never. I put my life on hold to raise two nephews, one my sister’s son and one my brother’s son. I think today I would have told them to be responsible and raise their own kids but as a child of God, it was what He wanted me to do. I like Sarah in the Bible who thought God would never provide her with a child (even though he did when she was very old), gave up on meeting someone and being married and resided to the fact that I would be single. But at age 46 I met my husband and married two years latert. Last week we celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last week.
@taxmom9093: I agree with everything Janet said. It is tough when you were so many hours but it is doable. You might try getting a computer stand for your desk that allows you to stand when you want and sit other times. I know my school secretaries feel the same thing and both got collapsible stands this year and they now spend most of the time standing. You burn more calories that way and it is healthier for you. I also gave my hubby a foot cycler or elliptical for below his desk so that he is moving his feet while he sits and works. I have an assistant who walks during her lunch break. She takes her water and a apple and gets out to walk a few minutes. I have not run for a while because of my home situation but I run my neighborhood before work now that the sun is up early. I am too beat by the time I put in 11 hours at work and coming home to two ill dogs and my aged dad of 94. I guess we find other methods. If you are in a building with stairs, or have a neighboring one,try stair climbs at lunch. We have the Cathedral of Learning on the U. Of Pittsburgh campus and many of my friends that work in that area run the stairs. Good luck whatever you do.1
